A night of entwined emotions

  London, UK.

  This is a city full of romance and classical charm, with a subtle and ambiguous atmosphere lingering in the air.

  Especially in the dead of night, dazzling and resplendent lights are bewilderingly intertwined, drifting endlessly...

  Tong Mai gazed at the central stage of the pub, her dazzling eyes flowing with a hint of sadness and melancholy. She lightly sipped the fragrant red wine from the high-footed cup and let out a sigh.

  Tomorrow... she will leave this city, having stayed here for a full 15 years. Although it's not her own country, there must be some reluctance to part with it.

  “hi，girl……”

  "No......" Tong Mai caught sight of a blond-haired man, who made an inviting gesture to her. Before he could finish speaking, she immediately refused him.

  She likes everything about London except for the men here.

  She seemed to have a strong sense of rejection towards men who were not from her own country.

  Tong Mai pursed her lips, and a beautiful smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth. However, in that smile, one could easily see the faint bitterness pouring out like silk threads. Especially when she swayed the high-heeled cup, it even more highlighted her loneliness!

  She's always been lonely, hasn't she?

  From the moment her mother passed away, she was alone... From then on, no one had ever truly cared for her.

  Fortunately, she is a resilient cactus that can survive anywhere. Just like in London, where she started living at the age of six and fifteen years have passed...

  Although reluctant to leave this place, her memories of it are filled with emptiness and powerlessness, as if nothing had been left behind.

  Just as she was lost in her own thoughts, a standard and elegant English sentence jumped into her ears, and the voice was full of magnetism, thick and powerful, making people feel extremely comfortable.

  The young man involuntarily turned his head and leaned to one side:

  Only saw a man with a straight figure, wearing a black suit, pointing to the bartender for wine... From the side, the nose wing is high and the outline is clear, seemingly a handsome guy?

  Most importantly, he wasn't British, and that head of black hair made Tong Mai feel at ease.

  She couldn't help but turn her head to take a look, and the distance between him and her was not far, only about one meter apart. So, whatever action she took, Huo Yize would naturally have some discovery.

  Turning around, her gaze met Tong Mai's unexpectedly, their eyes locked in a silent stare...

  Wow, this man... is so handsome it's unreasonable! Tong Mai couldn't help but exclaim in her heart.

  But handsome as he is, seems a bit too cold!

  Huo Yize glanced at her and quickly turned back.

  "You..." Tong Mai seemed to have no intention of ending it there, uttering a single "you" in Chinese.

  "Are you Chinese?"

  Although it was a questioning tone, yet in her heart she seemed to be very certain that he wasn't Korean or Japanese, but Chinese. It was as if she had caught the scent of his homeland on him...

  Huo Yize didn't answer immediately, and instead cast his gaze on Tong Mai once again. This time, there was a hint of scrutiny in his eyes as he looked at her.

  Finally, Huo Yize nodded.

  The infatuated woman, he had seen many, but this woman... no, she could only be called a girl, seemed to have no hint of infatuation in her eyes. Her pair of eyes, like shining pearls, radiated a dazzling light that captivated people, with an enchanting and seductive charm that was hard to resist.

  For some reason, he turned back on his steps which were originally going to leave.

  Actually, he had always disliked girls who drank, as it made him easily associate them with decadence. But from Tung Mai's body, what he saw was not decadence, but the deepest loneliness.

  Tong Mai gazed at him, thinking that if he really wanted to leave something for his fifteen years of life in London, it would be better...

  Anyway, after leaving London, she must return to the Yin family - a family that is both strange and hateful to her.

  And besides, yesterday when I was talking to Father on the phone, he made it very clear that now that I've graduated, it's time for me to find a husband!

  After all...the stepmother couldn't tolerate her! Otherwise, she wouldn't have been sent abroad immediately after her mother's death.

  Her existence will inevitably bring a series of discordant factors to the Yin family.

  Huo Yize just stared at her silently for a moment before turning around...

  But just as he turned around, Tong Mai quickly pulled up his hand, and the cold feeling transmitted to his palm. Huo Yize couldn't help but frown, he didn't shake off her hand, nor did he hold it tight, his action was very passive, as if he was waiting for Tong Mai's next move.

  As expected, she clenched her fists tightly, as if making the most struggling decision, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, adding a touch of beauty to her.

  Huo Yize remained tight-lipped and refused to spill the beans.

  In such a place, on such a night, in a foreign land, people from the same country can meet, it's hard to say that it's not fate.

  The heavens have aligned, the earth is in harmony... all we need now is for people to come together!

  In this luxurious pub, things like xxoo will happen, it's nothing unusual.

  She must be crazy! Or perhaps, there was indeed a tempting factor on him, she whispered softly in his ear, her voice sweet and gentle, with a hint of coquetry, inviting him...

  Although this was within his expectations, yet between his eyebrows, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of loss.

  She doesn't look like a bad girl at all...

  "Have you grown up?"

  After a moment of hesitation, Huo Yize's throat emitted a slightly cold voice.

  "Twenty-one." she replied.

  He doesn't get involved with minors, that's his bottom line.

  Tong Mai's response seemed to make Huo Yize a bit suspicious, she didn't look like a girl over twenty years old at all, with innocence and charm coexisting, seemingly a very complex combination.

  Tong Mai seemed to have noticed the doubt in his eyes as well, "You don't believe?"

  "Let's go."

  Huo Yize didn't ask further, his large palm enveloped hers, turning passivity into initiative...

  ***

  In the luxurious presidential suite, the atmosphere of romance is everywhere.

  She wasn't the kind of woman he had imagined, originally thinking she would be very open and generous, but unexpectedly found her to be awkward and painful. Especially when he was deeply embedded in her body, the tightness was... simply amazing. He had never been greedy for any woman before, but at this moment, he instinctively didn't want to let go of her, his fingers lingering on the plump and firm place, reluctant to move away...

  Regardless of whether she could withstand his intensity, he pulled her through peak after peak...

  After a long time.

  Tong Mai was dressed neatly, but her legs were shaking violently between them due to the pain. However, since it was like this, she didn't have anything to regret either. Moreover, Tong Mai had always been someone who didn't regret what she did.

  She got up and left, but behind her came the voice of Huo Yize, "Will there be another chance to meet?" The words were calm like a dead water, without any ripples or marks, as if it was just a casual question, with no other purpose.

  Upon hearing this, Tong Mai's lips curled up into a handsome smile. This smile... was somewhat enchanting, as he gazed at him with a firm shake of his head.

  Tomorrow at dawn, she will leave here and doesn't think there will be another chance to meet.

  But this night would be her most unforgettable memory, she transformed from a girl into a woman...

  Looking at her demeanor, a hint of loss seemed to flash through Huo Yize's mind, but his cold voice rang out again, "Your name."

  His voice made Tong Mai stunned for a moment, but he still answered, "Angel." He reported her English name.

  Angel is an angel... but does she deserve it? Tong Mai couldn't help but mock himself in his heart, turned around and left...

  The next day, early morning.

  Huo Yize originally intended to leave the hotel room, but inadvertently caught sight of that striking red on the bed, and stopped in his tracks for a moment.

  Is this what she left behind?

  Between her eyebrows, a deep furrow had formed. Gently, he used his index finger to stroke the purest blood stain. No wonder she was so awkward... It turned out it was her first time! Last night, he hadn't noticed at all, perhaps from the beginning, he had assumed she wouldn't be a clean girl.

  But then what?
